Improvement in argand oil-burners



@anni iiiiirr.

atreve 'e I, GEORGE KELLOGG Osonu, in thecity, county, and State of New York, have invented a certain Im- `provement in Burners, of which thc following, is a specification. V .e f V `The object of my invention is"l to enable oil to be used for illumination -inthe ordinary gas-fixtures in placeofgas.` e The first part of myinvention relates to the coni struction; combination, and use of a` peculiar tube andpinw i i The secondpartof my 'inventionv relates to'a stop- ,.cock, which acts the part of aratchet for the wick, and

`as a stop-cock at the same time.

The third part `relates to the general construction "and arrangement.

i Figurell shows `the pin separate from the burner.

Gencral'Dcscription. C is a chamber surrounding thewick-tube U,an'd contains the iio'at F. i I e, i Wjis a wick held between the wick-tubes U U.

It divides` and passes on both' sides of the center piece H, and connects with the stop-cock S, and forms apassage for the foil from thestop-cock to the orifice N, figs. 9 Aand 10, in the top of the pin-tubeT,

-The pn-tube is made in the form ofla hollow cylinder with conical heads, with holes in thelcentrs just large enough to admitofthe passage` of the pin I.

. '.Lhehole N is for` the entrance of the oil to the tube,

. `and the oneiatfthe other end is a guide for the pin.

There is ahole, M,iouV the side of the tube 'Ifor the i exitofoil. 'i i 'lhe pin II islilie anyordinary pin, only having 'a suitable eye instead of a head,1and is large enough to oil and the spring K.

reach the length of the pin-tube' T, and lill both holes in the-ends at once.

' K is a straight wire spring, which passes through the .eye of the piu P, and connects at both ends with the Aioat F, audits use is to prevent injury to the pin by any hard jars given to the burner, and to connect the pin with the iioat.

L is a ring, to which thewick W is attached, and Y is 'moved up and down by means ofthe reach R, which connects with the arms A, which projectfrom the stop-cock S, andis moved up and down' by turning the stop-,cock on or olf. I i The loat F is a hollow ring, and light enough to doat readily in oil, and touch nothing when in use but The operation is as follows, viz: Y The oil enters the burner at the point D, passes in the direction indicated by the arrows to the hole N,

in the top of the pin-tube T. It enters the hole N, and, passingdown the tube Il, is discharged through' the hole M into the center piece H H, through which it flows into the chamber C, and, passing through small holes at thc-bottom of wick-tube U, it enters' the wick which conveys it to the top of the burner, where it is ignited.

If the oil Hows into the chamber G faster than it is consumed,the chamber becomes half filled with oil, which raises the iioat which raises the 'spring K, and the spring K raises the pin until it enters the hole N at the upper end ofthe pin-tube T, which lesseus the flow of oil until it equals the amount being consumed.

Ii' the iiame is v,increased it lesseus the oil in the chamber C, the'lpat falls, which lowers the pin enough to give room fora flow equal to the demand.,

I am aware that there have been in use automatic.

gasburnersfand automatic `regulating apparatus at.

tachedto. lamps, but I am not aware of any oil-burner which regulates the flow of oil through itseli'fautoniatically, as herein described.

lVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 'is- .1. The pin P andthe tube '.l, when worked together andcnstructed substantially as and for the purpose herein set forthfand described.

2. A stop-cock, which, as a ratchet, moves the wick.
